The NBA Finals ended over two months ago with fans now hotly anticipating the start of the new season.

Several teams have made major changes to their roster in an attempt to build on their championship chances with the Warriors adding All-Star DeMarcus Cousins.

LeBron James has ended his 15-year stay in the Eastern Conference by joining the Los Angeles Lakers while Kawhi Leonard left the San Antonio Spurs for the Toronto Raptors.

The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers didn't do many moves in the summer, mainly bringing back players from last season to build on their young roster.

The Warriors enter the season as favourites once again but with James now out of the East, it looks likely there will be a team other than the Cleveland Cavaliers representing the Eastern Conference in the Finals.

The league released the full schedule for the new season this week and you can find out all the key dates below.
